Guide to Synergizing Kha'Zix and Swain

Tips for Playing as Kha'Zix with Swain

Enemies are considered isolated if they have no allies within a short distance. The damage of Taste Their Fear is massively increased against these targets.

Unseen Threat activates when Kha'Zix cannot be seen by the enemy team. Reactivate by using brush or Void Assault. Don't forget to apply Unseen Threat by autoattacking enemy champions.

Kha'Zix has a great deal of freedom to choose where and when to fight. Pick your battles carefully to succeed.

Advice to Understand How Swain Will Play

While laning, try to use Death's Hand's piercing damage to damage opponents from a safe distance.

Vision of Empire is quite difficult to land on its own, look for skirmishes around the map where enemies may be distracted or crowd controlled so you can land it more easily.

If you're having trouble rooting an enemy with Nevermove, try throwing it at opponents when they are near their minions so the explosion surprises them.

Demonic Ascension may make Swain very hard to kill but he's pretty easy to get away from. Try building items that can slow opponents to keep them in range if their mobility is overwhelming.
